• Plant traits co-vary with altitude in grasslands and forests in the European Alps (2010, background): “Diaspores with appendages (awn, hook or calyx) are efficiently dispersed by ectozoochory (e.g. Fischer et al. 1996; Römermann et al. 2005) but potentially by anemochory as well (Tackenberg 2001).”
• Reproductive characteristics of neophytes in the Czech Republic: traits of invasive and non-invasive species. (2010, background): “Propagule size is presented in Table 2 but was not included in any statistical analysis since propagule weight is a more informative measure of the dispersal capability (see Römermann et al. 2005).”
• Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “However, the unreliability of the epizoochory syndrome was demonstrated by Römermann et al. (2005).”
• The LEDA Traitbase: a database of life‐history traits of the Northwest European flora (2008, background): “One key factor in epizoochory (dispersal by means of seeds attached to external parts of an animal) is the capacity of seeds to remain attached to fur, i.e. the attachment potential (Couvreur et al. 2004; Römermann et al. 2005).”
• Seed dispersal distances: a typology based on dispersal modes and plant traits (2007, background): “Similarly, epizoochory concerns more species than what diaspore morphology indicates, and many plumed seeds for anemochory or smooth seeds are transported as well (Fischer et al. 1996; Couvreur et al. 2004; Mouissie et al. 2005a; Rcmermann et al. 2005 ).”
• A mechanistic simulation model of seed dispersal by animals (2008, unknown): “The plant traits determining both seed attachment and detachment potentials have been identified in previous studies (Römermann et al. 2005b; Tackenberg et al. 2006; Will et al. 2007).”
